[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I am trying to type up an appeal letter, I have several questions.

What is a high DRA for Fairfax County for a 2nd grader? I googled it and my child’s score was above the next higher grade level, but is that good for Fairfax County?

Has anyone appealed with iready scores? If so, what is considered good for Fairfax County?

For those who have done both cogat and wisc, did your child have about the same scores?

It sounds like parent submitted work samples were important this year. I feel like in the past that wasn’t the case. Any thoughts?

When I was looking over the GBRS, the comments were amazing, but the actual ratings were 3Fs and 1C. It didn’t really seem to fit together. Any thoughts?

Who was on the GBRS form for your kid? Is the 1st grade teacher typically one of the contributors?

Sorry for all the specific questions- I will contact the AART and his teacher to ask, but just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on these. Thanks![/quote]

The highest DRA score for a FCPS second grader should be a 38.  That's because the FCPS training requires testers to stop after capping out at the end of the next year.  The number stands for 3 (third grade) and 8 (8th month).  So when you ask what is a good DRA score for a second grader, if your child is above a 30 that's okay, but not amazing because plenty of other kids have a 38 (which is likely higher but the tester is required to stop at 38.)[/quote]
